After graduating high school, I decided I was too good to go to a local college, so I moved to Louisville. I attended a very expensive private college there, and after 2 years moved back and transferred to MSU. I have to say that for the money, MSU is an excellent school. I would further say that I wish I didn't have such a big head and cost myself so much unneeded tuition money. I should have just went to MSU.
It's hard to believe, but my daughter is going to continue the tradition of Murray State University this fall. She is the third generation to attend Murray State and she is very excited!

I had reservations about attending college in my hometown, but ultimately it was a great experience. Small class sizes. Personal attention. Experienced faculty. You will get a great education at Murray State University. It has a beautiful campus and is still small enough that you can really get to know most of the people you are attending school with.
From a cons perspective, it is a smaller school, so attendance and enthusiasm for the sports program is not that high. The college is located in a dry county and Greek life really took a turn for the worse while I was there. Overall a lack of enthusiasm...
